The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 was released yesterday, and I just ordered one! Wooh. To keep this from being a blog, I declare we discuss the pros and cons and compare it to the other netbooks...
Keep in mind, WINDOWS ONLY HERE.

MSI Wind
- * $500 dollars for the 'best' version
* 1.6Ghz Atom
* 1Gb DDR2 ram
* 10 inch screen
* Intel UMA
* 80 Gb HDD (The fall... in my opinion)
* 7.8 Hrs Battery Life
- * $399 dollars for the 'best' version
* 1.6Ghz Atom
* 1Gb DDR2 ram/512Mb Ram (Coincides with Storage option)
* 8Gb SSD/120Gb HDD
* 8.9 inch screen
* Intel HMA
* 7.0 Hrs Battery Life
My reasoning for going with the Mini 9 is that it has a slightly larger SSD than the others, (I don't want a HDD, at all.), decent amount of ram, 1.6Ghz atom (The 900 has a celeron, and it costs more!), it isn't huge (10" is pushing netbook imo), and it might even play a game or two. (Were talkin addictinggames.com here, though. Haha.)
Also, is GMA or UMA better?
